Desperate to keep the ranch where three of her children and a husband lie buried, Annie Gephart must marry or sell. Which of the few bachelors in town would consider a surprise proposal to wed a plain widow with a rebellious daughter, a spirited boy, and unpaid taxesβwithout laughing in her face?
Jacob Hendrix has never fully let go of his ranching dreams despite ending up as a small Wyoming townβs marshal. The job wouldnβt be so bad, except heβs more errand boy than lawman. When Annie proposes marriage without a single coquettish bat of an eyelash, can he commit himself to a woman he hardly knows for a choice piece of property heβd be an idiot to pass up?
But taxes arenβt all that threaten Annie and Jacobβs plans. Cattle rustlers, crumbling friendships, and wayward children make this marriage of convenience anything but. When they lose what theyβve sacrificed everything to save, will the love of a stranger be enough?
Romancing the Bride is the first book in the Frontier Vows Series by award-winning Christian romance author Melissa Jagears. If you like heartwarming marriage of convenience stories, youβll love this sweet romance filled with endearing characters.
